Guizhou Crew

I talked about the rain (see Milling Around and Counting the Rings), and slogging uphill (see Going to Work), and putting the correct names on the trees (see Species Determinations), but I haven't said anything yet about what a good time we had running transects in southeastern Guizhou. From left to right: Yin Jin and Zhiyao Lu from Minzu University, Yu Yong Fu from the Leigongshan Nature Reserve, and Dr. Mark Ashton from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Everyone is smiling at the prospect of one more plot.
